Who can suggest a good, seamless, padless bra that does not ride up in the back??? I have been wearing Wonderbra # 1219 which is fine for the first couple of times I wear them... then up it goes. I am a 36 with a full B cup. I wash them gently and do not put them in the dryer. Who out there can suggest a really good bra. Tx Karon

Have you tried Victoria's Secret bra's? They are awesome, they are expensive but last forever and are super comfy. If you haven't tried them you really should.

I agree...Victoria's Secret. But you don't have to necessarily spend a lot of money. I got a few cotton bras for $15-20. They come in many colors, with racerback, back or front closure, etc etc. I once got a simple cotton bra from Walmart for $4 and it is the worst cotton imaginable. I've opted to spend more and save time not having to itch or adjust myself every five minutes.

the general rule is if you put it on and it rides up in the back before it's stretched or anything, it's too big around.
my suggestion? go to a good store like victoria secret, jcpenney, or kohls (kohls is REALLY good.. brand names for below sale prices) grab a bunch of different styles, and try them on, if they still do it.. pick some you liked and get them in the next size down, to go down 1 size in a bra, you need to get the next rib size down, and the next cup size up, so you might want to try a 34c.. believe it or not.. doing it that way you're really getting the exact same cup size, just a smaller rib size.
the best way to find a good bra is just to try them on, don't listen to those posters in stores that tell you how to fit them or anything else.. they're rarely right.. just take your current size, and try on different styles and sizes untill you find something that works

If your bra is riding up in the back, isn't that an indication it's too tight around, not too big?

Like they mentioned above, Victoria's Secret bras are the best. I wear their cotton stretch bras and I almost feel like I don't have one on at all. They also have plenty of padded ones, too. Visit the website. :)

A few years ago I broke down and got fitted at a local department store. Most of the larger department stores have women who will do this for you. I was wearing a bra 3 sizes too small! And you wouldn't have known. Let me tell you, it made a huge difference. Once you get fitted, you don't have to necessarily buy the most expensive bras, just the ones that fit properly. Just remember that you should be re-fitted after gaining or losing weight as your bra size will change too. You will be amazed at how much more comfortable you are in a bra that actually fits.
My favorite is Wacoal - it is very expensive, but one of the few that make my size bra.

I haven't heard of a bra riding up because it's too tight.. mostly they just cut into your skin and wear out faster if they're too tight around the band... you should be able to comfortably slide both hands under the band of your bra, it shouldn't stretch out much more than that and it shouldn't cut into your flesh, it has to be snug to provide support.
The pro fitting is a good idea too, although I would use it as a guideline only. Bra fitting rules seem to get less and less accurate as the sizes become less "normal". For instance.. you can be pretty large.. say a 36C... and it will still be on target for the most part because thats a pretty common size, but I'm fairly large busted (dd+) with a pretty small chest (32 not counting the twins) and when I had victoria's do it they wanted to put me in a 42D..... WHAT? yeah.. right.. apparently these things just flatten out and the cups are just supposed to cover your nips... *smirk* but anyway.. they make a pretty good guideline for the most part... most people can try on the sizes right around the one they're given and find a perfect fit.

Victoria's Secret bras are just fantastic. They are usually expensive but if you buy during their annual sale, you just pay a quarter of the original price.
